Social Networking Pays Off in Strange Ways

Social Networking pays off in strange ways.  I’m a Luddite when it comes to computers but managed to finally upload a forthcoming publication announcement for Suitcase Filled with Nails,  on Facebook and Linkedin.  Within minutes I received responses from around the world from friends who WANT TO BUY A SIGNED COPY of Suitcase Filled with Nails.  I think it will be cheaper for my friends in the UK, Dubai, Egypt, Kuwait, and beyond to buy the ebook version at $4.95, than to ship a signed copy over seas.

Yet, one unexpected reference to Suitcase Filled with Nails, is in the email below which I am sharing as requested by Paul D Kennedy, author of The Lid is Lifted.

Dear Yvonne

The Lid is Lifted

I was one of the Westerners trapped in the centre of Kuwait city when the Iraqi army invaded on the 2nd August 1990. I witnessed first-hand the appalling human rights abuses that took place (indeed I was a victim in one brutal case), as well as looting on an industrial scale and the contradictory reactions of scared and desperate men.
Written as narrative non-fiction, The Lid is Lifted uses terse language to describe the feelings of extreme fear and almost uncontrollable anger we all experienced at that time.
You can find out more about this exciting story (with short samples from the book) at: www.kuwait1990.com or you can have a free read of the first few chapters at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O302T2.
The Lid is Lifted also details how a few expatriates betrayed friendships in order to ensure their own safety and several embarrassing facts about the behaviour of the foreign embassies in Kuwait during the few times we interacted with them.
Have you ever wondered what REALLY caused Saddam to invade? I had excellent connections at the highest levels in Kuwait who kept me well informed of what was happening and why, so you can find out in this book
The Lid is Lifted is the true story of what happened in Kuwait during August 1990. Though every word is true, I have written it in the style of a novel so you too can experience what it was like during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
You can find out more about The Lid is Lifted at: www.kuwait1990.com.
Or you can buy this exciting 250-page book directly from Amazon for less than US$5 at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O302T2.
Please pass this email on: Even if you are not interested in what happened in Kuwait in August 1990, over 20 years ago, perhaps you have friends who would like to read The Lid is Lifted. I would appreciate it very much if you would pass this email on … and your friends may be grateful to you.
Thank you for reading this email and I hope you enjoy my book.
Yours sincerely

PAUL D KENNEDY
